Freeman sent one went the opposite way into the Marlins bullpen against Elieser Hernandez in the fourth. The next inning, he went deep again with two outs to break a 1-1 tie, launching a pitch from Tyler Kinley (1-1) into the right-field seats for his 33rd homer of the season.

The third Miami pitcher, Austin Brice, didn't fare any better against Freeman, giving up a two-run single in the seventh.

Freeman now has 102 RBIs — the second 100-RBI season of his career. He had 109 in 2013.

“That was a long three days,” Freeman said, referring to his struggles against the Dodgers. “I took the weekend off.”

Dallas Keuchel (4-5) went six innings, limiting the Marlins to Jon Berti's third-inning homer — quite an improvement from the eight runs and 10 hits he surrendered in 3 2/3 innings at Miami on Aug. 8. The left-hander benefited from a pair of double plays and stranded six runners, four of them in scoring position.

His last pitch was a high fastball that fanned Jorge Alfaro with runners at first and third.

Hernandez plunked Atlanta star Ronald Acuna Jr. in the back with his very first pitch of the game, rekindling tensions between the teams and leading to Snitker's ejection.

Last season, Jose Urena was suspended after he drilled Acuna with a pitch. In May, then-Braves pitcher Kevin Gausman was kicked out for throwing behind Urena.

Acuna lingered in front of home plate, staring down Hernandez, before being ushered to first. When plate umpire Alan Porter warned both teams against further retaliation, Snitker popped out of the dugout and was given the heave by crew chief Mark Wegner.

“I felt like if they needed to give him a warning, they should've thrown him out of the game,” Snitker said. “Especially in light of the past things that happened.”

Hernandez struck another hitter in the fourth, getting Adeiny Hechavarria on the left elbow, but the umpires took no action. Acting Braves manager Walt Weiss emerged from the dugout and could be seen asking Porter, “What did you give the warning for?”

TRAINER’S ROOM

Marlins: Hernandez was lifted after four innings and 68 pitches because of a blister on his right middle finger. He was listed as day to day. RHP Pablo Lopez (shoulder strain) is set to throw a rehab start at Triple-A New Orleans on Wednesday, which could be one of his final tuneups before a return to the rotation.

Braves: C Brian McCann left the game after the third inning because of left knee soreness, another potential blow to a team already reeling from a rash of injuries. OF Austin Riley (knee) worked out on the field before the game and may be able to begin a rehab stint in the minors by the weekend. SS Dansby Swanson (foot) is set to take batting practice and run the bases before Wednesday's game, though there's still no timetable for his return.
